AI Tool Will Predict Patients at High Risk for Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose

University of Florida researchers are developing a new artificial intelligence tool that will help clinicians identify patients at high risk for opioid use disorder and overdose.

The tool will use data from patients’ electronic medical records to guide clinicians in safely and effectively prescribing opioid medications. The project is supported by a five-year, $3.2 million grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, or NIDA, and aims to reduce the unprecedented rise in opioid overdose and opioid use disorder in the United States.
